"Josh is professional, creative and very talented. Josh is a perfectionist and treated our kitchen and basement/bathroom remodel like it was his own. His pricing was more than fair with no hidden surprises. He transformed our house to what we wanted it to be and my wife and I couldn't be happier with the finished product. This was our first major home renovation and he helped us make decisions the entire process. We will certainly hire JL again and have already been recommending him to family and friends!!!!"

"Working with Neil as the designer was truly and enjoyable experience. Every single DiRisio employee was professional and easy to work with. The design ideas that Neil shared were spot on and as each aspect of the remodel unfolded, the space came more to life and we fell more in love with how beautiful it was turning out. The small details like the finishes on the hardware, the stain on the stairs matching the flooring, the care that was taken to install the bathroom tile, were so appreciated by us and added up to a terrific finished product."

"The florescent light fixture in my office is finally gone, and it was Paul and his team that defeated it!   I am a graduate student, so I spend a significant amount of time every day reading and writing.  Even though I had spent a lot of money turning the basement of my condo into an awesome n***-den, I ended up doing most of my work in the living room because the fluorescent light in that basement was just awful.
I called Paul at Exquisite Construction to see what he might recommend.  He had been out to my house before to offer an estimate on popcorn ceiling removal (something I am still going to hire him to do once I build the project budget back up).  From the start, Paul and his wife made a positive impression.  They were friendly, engaged, and genuinely excited about hearing and sharing ideas about my house.  The two of them are exactly like an HGTV show, just without the cameras. He took a look at the space and we kicked some ideas around.  I was leaning more towards installing a new "character" light fixture.  Paul recommended LED lights that sat flush to the ceiling, as they would provide more/better light (I think Paul recognized that my desire to make the space look cool was overpowering my desire to solve my initial lighting problem, haha).  We decided to do BOTH things and the result is just amazing.
Paul--as he did when he offered the quote on the popcorn removal--gave several different options and prices on the spot.  For $825, he and his team installed a new, bigger electrical box to handle the expanded lighting.  They moved it to a different point in the ceiling (to center the new "character" light fixture over my table-desk, which is the central feature of the office).  They installed the four LED lights and installed two dimmer switches, so the LEDs and the character light could be set/dimmed independently of each other.  Finally, they repaired the parts of the ceiling that they needed to go through in order to do the wiring.  They did all of this in essentially less than a day (they came at noon yesterday to accommodate my schedule, as I work nights on Monday and a Tuesday morning might kill me, haha.  They were able to do almost all of the work in 4 and a half hours.  They came back first thing this morning to wrap up the ceiling repair, which took them about an hour). 
The end result is that my office looks amazing.  The new lighting, and the added control via the dimmer switches, transformed the space so much more than I ever anticipated, and that's all down to Paul and his team for both the quality of their work and their willingness to share ideas based on their experience.  I knew that I wanted to replace a light fixture.  Paul knew that it could be even better than that, and he made it happen.
I bought my condo in 2013, and I've been looking for a "go-to" contractor--someone who could handle different kinds of projects, did good work, and most importantly--someone that seemed trust-worthy.  Paul and his team are all of those things, and I hope to keep them busy with regular projects over the next few years.

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

You should plan on waiting at least a year and ideally two to three years after construction before finishing your basement. This will give the foundation time to settle in response to the weight of your home and the expansion of the surrounding soil. You can then repair your foundation and seal any cracks as needed before finishing it to reduce your risk of future leaks or other issues.

Yes. Renovating your basement has a return on investment (ROI) of 75%, meaning your remodel investment will significantly increase the value of your home. Besides the ROI, your family can enjoy a larger, more usable space while you live there. 

Since DIYing a basement remodel isn't typically advised, there are some ways that you can still save money on this project without putting yourself in danger. Some ways to save money on a basement remodel include:

  • Painting walls yourself versus including in the cost of the remodel 

  • Installing light fixtures yourself

  • Choosing prefabricated fixtures, like cabinets, over custom ones

  • Choosing a budget-friendly flooring option, like laminate or vinyl flooring, and add rugs where necessary

Yes, most general contractors require an initial down payment. A reasonable deposit is typically between 10% and 25% of the total project cost, although this can vary by project size and location. This upfront payment helps the contractor cover initial costs like materials, permits, licensing, and hiring subcontractors. The remaining balance is usually billed according to a schedule outlined in your contract, often tied to project milestones or completion dates. Be cautious of contractors who ask for a large deposit of 50% or more, as this could be a red flag for a scam.

Yes, adding a walkout basement will usually bump up your property value. Most homeowners prefer walk out basements because the exposed wall that’s level with the ground provides more utility via a ground-level exterior entrance, and they can fit full windows, which adds natural light and ventilation to the basement area. The only exception might be in areas prone to tornadoes, as walkout basements aren’t as safe as regular basements during a tornado, particularly if they include large windows or glass sliding doors.
